PENTAGON SHOCKS Allies With Bold “America First” Move on Aukus Submarine Deal
— The Pentagon is rethinking the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal with Australia and the United Kingdom. This review comes as President Biden’s team focuses more on “America First” policies and tries to fix problems in U.S. shipyards. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says American military strength must come before anything else.
The original plan had Australia buying Virginia-class submarines from the U.S., with all three countries working together on a new submarine design in the future. The deal also promised to share cutting-edge technology like cyber tools, artificial intelligence, and hypersonic weapons.
Some defense leaders are worried about sending submarines overseas while America’s own Navy needs more ships. One Pentagon official said, “This review will make sure we put America first.”
Now, the future of AUKUS is uncertain as Washington decides whether to honor deals with allies or focus only on national needs.

US TAXPAYERS FED UP: Bold Bill Demands UN PAY Fair Share in Somalia WAR
— Three Republican senators have introduced a bill to block U.S. funding for Somalia’s fight against Islamist terror unless the United Nations, European Union, and African Union step up their own support. The “African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) Funding Restriction Act of 2025” aims to protect American tax dollars and make global partners pay their “fair” share.
Senator Jim Risch told Fox News Digital the bill is meant “to safeguard U.S. taxpayer funds and hold the U.N. and A.U. accountable in African peace operations.” The law would also require America to oppose any United Nations Security Council move that asks for more U.S. money for these missions.
Somalia has suffered years of violence from ISIS and al-Shabab terrorists, with recent U.S. airstrikes hitting both groups over just five weeks. President Trump ordered strikes on ISIS leaders in Somalia during his time in office, showing how involved America has been in keeping the region secure.;

TALIBAN RULE Destroys Afghanistan: Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
— Life in Afghanistan has worsened under Taliban rule over the past three years. The humanitarian crisis is escalating, and women’s rights have vanished. Kabul remains isolated from the international community.
A quarter of Afghans face “acute” food insecurity, and more than half need humanitarian aid. Nearly 70% of the population lacks reliable access to basic resources like food, water, housing, or health care, according to the UNDP.
The Taliban’s takeover in August 2021 led to an economic collapse as international funding was cut off. Their extremist policies and bans on women have worsened the economic crisis further.
Three years after U.S.-led troops withdrew from Afghanistan, many question if life is now worse than before 9/11 and the subsequent invasion. “If it’s not worse, it’s heading in that direction quickly,” says Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute.
ISRAELI HOSTAGES Caught in Biden’s Diplomatic Fiasco: The Unseen Consequences
— The fate of 134 Israeli hostages, believed to be held in Rafah, is pushing Israel towards negotiations for their release. This move comes despite President Joe Biden’s public caution against Israel’s intervention in Rafah, due to the potential risk to Palestinian civilians seeking shelter there. Intriguingly, it appears that the responsibility for these civilians falls on Israel, not Hamas — the organization controlling Gaza for nearly two decades and instigator of the October 7 war.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had forecasted in mid-February that the war would end within 'weeks’ once an operation in Rafah was initiated. However, a lack of decisive action has worsened conditions in Gaza. On Monday, Biden seemingly simplified Israel’s decision by siding with Russia and China at the United Nations Security Council.
Biden permitted a resolution separating a ceasefire from a hostage release deal to pass through unchallenged. As a result, Hamas returned to its original demand — ending the war before releasing any additional hostages. This act by Biden was viewed as a significant misstep and seemed to leave Israel out in the cold.
Some suggest this discord might secretly please Biden’s administration as it allows them to publicly object an Israeli operation while covertly maintaining arms supply. If true, this would allow them to gain advantages from

BIDEN’S Backlash: US Pounds Iran-Backed Militias
— The U.S. military retaliated last Friday with an air assault on more than 85 militia sites in Iraq and Syria, all backed by Iran. This was a direct response to the drone strike that tragically claimed the lives of three American troops in Jordan the previous weekend.
President Joe Biden set a clear message that there will be more strikes to follow, cautioning, “Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing.” He stressed that any harm inflicted upon Americans would not go unanswered.
Although the U.S. consciously avoided targeting Iran directly or its high-ranking leaders, it’s unclear what impact these strikes have had due to possible prior warnings potentially driving militia members into hiding. Despite this uncertainty, one primary Iran-backed militia has halted attacks on American troops while others remain defiant and vow to continue their fight.
